DIY Maytag Centennial Brand Clothing Dryer Installation Including Power ...

If you remember, take a picture of the existing dryer plug on the wall so you know which type of plug to purchase if you plan on replacing it. Make sure before you leave the store that you have an electrical cord in which to connect this with as every dryer I have ever purchased does NOT come with the electrical cord with it. I'm guessing this is likely because there are quite a few different versions of plugs in each house for various types of dryers. You install the cord on this you will also need a Phillips screwdriver. I used my cordless drill when I performed this operation. In my "DIY Maytag Centennial Brand Clothing Dryer Installation Including Power Cord [Maytag Dryer Installation Tutorial" video I take you step by step through the process of making it happen. While you are setting up your new dryer it may be a good time to clean out the lint in the dryer's vent duct.

Scrap Metal Welding Art Project: Wild West Cowboy

Check out my Scrap Metal Welding Art Project: Wild West Cowboy. The boots were made from old shoe savers and the legs of course from a large horseshoe. The body came from some old wrought iron fence pickets from a fence I helped a neighbor up the street tear down in exchange for the metal and a sweet gate (which I refurbished and sold). The spurs were made from car gears. The cowboy hat I made from an old shoe saver as well. The guns were little mini railroad spikes someone gave me. The rope and lasso I made from old chainsaw chain by welding each link together.

DIY Easy SecurityTag Removal Process-Quick Detachment Method

DIY Easy Security Ink Tag Removal Process-Quick Detachment Method. Extra care must be taken with regards to safety when using this method as the clothing item could easy get wrapped around the grinder and you could lose a finger or a hand. This method is not recommended for the Ink capsule style tags as the ink will spray everywhere if it gets ground into by the pedestal grinder. All proper safety precautions must be observed when using this method. Better yet, I recommend you do not use this method as it's highly dangerous. I chose to use this method as I live far away from the mall and didn't want to make a trip all the way back there to have to bother with the holiday driving, parking, crowds, waiting in line a the store, just to get this tag removed so for me it was easier to do it myself. This actually worked really well and didn't cause any damage to myself or the piece of clothing that I bought. I just ground the whole thing off a little bit at a time and it only took a few minutes.

DIY Home Brew | Octoberfest with Mosaic Hops | Craft & Brew Beer Recipe Kit

DIY Home Brew | Octoberfest with Mosaic Hops | Craft & Brew Beer Recipe Kit. I was very happy with the way this turned out. I had to use Mosaic hops b/c when this kit showed up the package had been damaged and the hops missing. I had some mosaic hops on hand so I used those. I turned out amazing tasting and very unexpectedly unique. These beer kits make the best beer. I don't buy beer at the store anymore since making my own. Making your own beer gives you a deeper appreciation for it. You realize what goes into making it and the ingredients involved. You can have this brewed on your brew day in less than two hours. I left it in the fermenter for two weeks, then two more weeks after bottling.

DIY Home Brew: Morgans Hazy Mosaic Centennial IPA-Brewing, Bottling and ...

For this delicious home brew I used liquid malt extract made by Morgan's (Frontier IPA) and dry spray malt hopped light. This sucker turned out wonderful. I used Centennial and Mosaic hops. No boiling was involved or needed at all in this brewing session. The hopping technique was dry hopping. I just simply mixed the ingredients in the fermenter along with some hot filtered water (and cold) and dry hopped the two different hops mixed into one bag. Then used the brewers yeast that came with the Morgans liquid malt extract. I made sure to add the yeast when the wort was at correct temperature. I placed the top on and waited for two weeks. Two weeks later I bottled it. Was ready to drink two weeks after that. This was a no brainer tasty  beer project. Great fun and rewarding hobby. I just use my Cooper's DIY beer kit I got off amazon. Here's the link to it below. This is a great  super easy way to get started.

DIY-Mountain Security Brand-Keyed Entry Door Knob Installation Tutorial

Accompany me during this DIY-Mountain Security Brand Keyed Entry Door Knob Installation tutorial. In a somewhat organized manner I pulled the parts out of the package and layer them out. I then slid the internal latch mechanism into the door and slid the rods of the door handles through the center. After assembling the internal locking mechanism and both sides of the door handle start loosely screwing everything together. I started with the door jam side portion of the assembly by inserting and tightening the screws that lock it in. I then took the two long fine threaded screws and inserted them into the face of the collar of the door handle inserting them all the way through, pulling both sides of the door handles toward each other as you tighten. Once everything is tight, be sure to ensure the door handle opens and closes without any binding. If any binding does occur, you may want to try to back off the door handle assembly screws just a tiny bit.

Project Source Brand Overhead Ceiling Light Fixture Installation-Model#0...

As homeowners and handymen we are always faced with having to do upgrades. It's crucial that us DIY technicians know how to handle these kids of tasks. Whether your a Mr. or Ms. Fix it kind of person, if you don't want to pay someone to do these kinds of DIY home electrical jobs than watch my videos on it. This one was a simple light fixture change out. I want to stress a couple of safety items here. First be sure the power is off. Second, be sure the power is off. Third, don't stand on something unsafe such as a slippery chair or bucket to reach up and perform this task. Get a ladder, get a voltage detector, turn off the breaker, turn off the switch, check for current.

Now open your new Project Source light fixture box and lay out all your new parts in an organized fashion. Unscrew the old mounting bracket. There are times when you don't have to do this when you get lucky and the existing mounting bracket will fit your new installation. After unscrewing then pull your wires down a little, inspect them and make sure they are good to go for your new installation. Next step is to reinstall your new mounting bracket into the recess. The same place from which you pulled the old one out. It's helpful to pre thread your screws into the metal mounting bracket as you will be installing this into the overhead. This goes for the little green ground wire screw as well. Using wire nuts, wire your new fixture to the house wiring accordingly. It's sometimes useful to pre-bend your grounding wire in a "U" shape to facilitate it's wrapping around the green ground screw.

Install your mounting screws and slip the new light fixture on them and then tighten. After securing the base part of the light to the ceiling via the mounting screws, go ahead and install the light bulbs. Now the center threaded rod gets installed. Don't worry about which side of the threaded rod goes in first because it bottoms out in the base, meaning, you can only thread it in so far until it stops. Now install the glass portion of your light and thread on the plastic washer, metal, washer and securing nut. Snug it up with a wrench. Not too tight, just snug. Now you can place your decorative cap and decorative end nut on. Now you're all set.

DIY Bath Showerhead Installation Tutorial "How To" Style Video

This "How TO" Step by Step Tutorial on replacing your bathroom shower head head shows you an easy beginner homeowner style process that you can do yourself without the headache or expense of calling someone else to do it for you. Follow along with me while I perform this DIY Bath Showerhead Installation Tutorial "How To" Style Video and you can get rid of that old showered in no time flat after you (or likely your wife) have picked out the ideal showered from the Lowe's, Home Depot, or other home/hardware store.

The first step is to turn off the main water supply. This is a great opportunity to locate your main water supply shut off to the house if you haven't found it already. You don't want to wait until there's a huge  flood from a burst pipe to attempt to locate your main shut off. Once you've secured your water at the main shut off valve you should go ahead and start carefully unthreading your old shower head. It's a really good idea to use two wrenches on this to apply counter torque as you don't want your connection inside the wall spinning. So ideally you would hold the elbow coming out of the wall completely still with slight torque in the tightening direction while you unthread your old shower head connection. Once you've carefully removed the old one now bust out your brand new one and get all your parts played out and pre-assembled as much as possible. Put some teflon tape on the end of the connection coming out of the wall. This will keep water from spraying all over the place when you turn it back on. Be sure your new shower head has the rubber gasket installed before threading it on. Now thread it on. Be sure your connections are tight and turn on the water supply. Good luck!

DIY Pallet Planter Box-Raised Beds for Gardening

I found myself with quite the collection of pallets just begging to be used for a project. I planned on a garden the year I made some raised beds. Once I knocked all of the nails out of the pallet boards I tried to reuse as many of the nails as I could. Some of them required a little bit of straightening. Be careful when cutting pallets on a table saw for the inherent risks that accompany using this saw but also because many times there are nails buried inside the wood that you don't readily see from the outside. I've hit a few nails with the table saw and you know it when you hit one. This project was relatively simple, just created the bottom square then nailed some vertical side pieces in. After that I just went around and nailed all of the boards to the vertical side pieces. Once I had it flush with the top I cut some boards for the trim at 45 degree angles in the corners for a specific look. I decided not to paint them but as an idea you could paint them the same color as your house, shed, or barn. In this project I had some extra boards so I created a bottom for this but really there is no need if you don't plan on moving them. They are super heavy when they are full of dirt anyway. Not only that but once you start watering whatever plants go in there the boards are going to start rotting. I had some triangular pieces left from one of the pallet disassemblies so they were a perfect fit for the bottom corners. You can't go wrong using pallets to make your planter boxes.

How to DIY Fence Post Replacement Repair 4 X 4 X 8 Cedar Treated

Sometimes you may have to replace one of your fence posts that are in line with your fence run. This can pose a little bit of a problem if the post was cemented in the ground. You'll need to remove this on order to start with a fresh hole in the ground to place the new treated 4 X 4 post. I recommend digging the existing cement post cement "block" in the ground as much as possible then pull it out using mechanical means. I decided to use a truck and chain to pull it out. This can be very dangerous so use extreme caution if choosing to do this. If you dig it out enough so that it wiggles and rocks a little so you know it's loose, then it's safe to say it's ready to be yanked out.

DIY Wine Cork Projects: Shell Display Base and Wine Cork Refrigerator Ma...

Wondering what to do with those old wine corks? Well here's another idea. This one incorporates the use of an old coat hanger as well. There's a saying that necessity is the mother of invention. This shell display needed a base and I had these corks and coat hanger laying around. Drilled down the center, lengthwise, of each cork with a drill bit that was the same size at the coat hanger. Then slid each cork on the coat hanger, formed it into a circular shape, then stuck each end into the opposing cork, then super glued together.

How to Replace Dead Doorbell Batteries For Dummies

The batteries on this model of doorbell can be located by gently prying out the upper top little panel section. It's a small battery drawer-like slide piece that comes out. I used a flathead screwdriver. You can see that there is a test button on the front of the doorbell. As can be heard in the video, when the button is pushed before the battery change out, there is a barely audible sound. Once  the batteries are changed out it is obvious that the doorbell is functioning as it should when the test button is depressed again.

How to change smoke alarm batteries-Three different styles

Three different styles of smoke alarms and how to change the batteries on them.  Smoke alarms will beep if they are getting low on batteries. If you suspect they are out or low, just replace the battery. Check them often and have more than one in a each area in case one happens not to work. It's a good idea to check these once every few months. You can test them by pressing the button on the front of the smoke alarm. If it doesn't make a loud beep when you push it, then the battery is dead or the smoke alarm is bad and should be replaced immediately. It's a good idea to have a smoke alarm in each room. There is no reason not to as they are very affordable and they are proven to save lives.
